The
campaign
Surfers Against Sewage is calling for
individuals, communities and businesses
to support and participate in activities to
protect the coastline from marine litter
including beach cleans and education
events.
2020, SAS need your help more than ever
before. Therefore we are encouraging all
UK beach lovers to join the SAS Beach
Clean programme and organise community
beach cleans at your favourite beaches in
2015.
Surfers Against Sewage aims to mobilise
between 10,000 – 12,000 community
volunteers in 2015 across our community
beach cleans, campaign activities and
other outside events.
The charity’s vision is to build its grassroots
volunteering capacity to engage, train
and mobilise a network of up to 25,000
community beach clean volunteers by
2020. As part of this target, by 2020,
Surfers Against Sewage aims to deliver
1,000 beaches cleans and implement
5,000 beach litter surveys annually as part
of our on-going marine litter campaign
commitments.
SAS exists to protect the UK’s oceans,
waves and beaches for everyone to
enjoy safely and sustainably. Those of
you who volunteer your time to help us
achieve this are priceless and we can’t
wait to hear about your SAS beach
cleans.
